A prosthetic leg for Cooper: help me move freely

Laredo
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Laredo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,800. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $5,800 goes: • prosthetic leg: $5,500 • Delivery and set-up: $130 • Fitting and training sessions: $170 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Cooper
